Domaining strategies
This is my true story
There was a time when I was very frustrated about my business domaining. I have people selling areas for hundreds of thousands of dollars and I had so many areas that are not prepared to pay for the fees, let thousands of people. What was the worst thing was that I was not too much money into the parking is.
Every time that I am the fields of sales, I returned tickets. What I done wrong? Was there a mistake in my investment strategy? I had to do something, or simply from domaining companies. It was a too-or-die situation for me.
There is still something that – I hate standard.
Then I sat back on a rational view my investment strategy and experience, not with her. And soon, I have done.
What was not in my strategy
Simple – My areas are not “premium” or the end-to-end traffic loads. Most areas in my portfolio were – and are – the rich and the keywords and brandable excellent development potential.
Most send the money simply domaines and investment wherever they may not be too much effort – and the development is not one of them.
My main problem was that I selling the wrong thing to poor people.
But there were two major problems – 1) and transport premium domains cost much more than I could not move and 2) I had a lot of money invested in a portfolio of keyword-rich areas.
Very quickly, I was to discover that something would change my fortune.

I have, like on the site in a sale of the auction has sold and $ 1500 for a few hours. That was a gain of about $ 1200 on a site that has less than 10 minutes per day to run.
Some time ago I bought a database with 1000 puzzles paid $ 20 and $ 50 an encoder for a simple script code reading from the database and displayed on the website. I have a method for producing one of the mysteries related to mine action programs, links to specific sites of social networks and gave around 10 U.S. dollars for 100 directory submission.

Another was a small company with marketing website where I Item 27 posts that I had, by the editors freelancers paid $ 10 by mail. My cost $ 270 and a couple of hours in connection with a consolidation and was sold for $ 1300.
More interesting is the Web-design blog, somebody that I bought for 700 $. I have a few hours and wrote a kick-ass item I could on the home page of Digg. Then I took a shift and re-DPP print article and paid 120 U.S. dollars to the editors, journalists write 12 articles for them.
The website to get loads of traffic and started the $ 200 – $ 300 Membership income, or $ 70 in AdSense revenue and $ 150 link text sales per month. After 5 months I have sold for $ 4250. I was not very much by the sale, but also keep all the money, which he of affiliate programs, text and adsense link sale. Your profit from this website was around $ 5700.
All this was more than sufficient for me to prove that there is a potential for money – and many of them – by something that just is not done. And the fact that I keywords and the rich brandable areas has been a huge advantage for me. Everything I had to do to rinse and repeat.
